The Oak Ridge Board of Education will start looking again for superintendent of schools candidates after two finalists withdrew and a third didn't get a second interview.

School Board Chairman Keys Fillauer said Wednesday afternoon that Roger Collins, superintendent of Nelson County Public Schools in Livingston, Va., and Dan Lawson, superintendent of Tullahoma city schools, took their names out of the equation and the local School Board decided not to bring Neland Clark, superintendent of South Harrison Community School in Corydon, Ind., back to Oak Ridge for a second interview.

Fillauer said Collins and Lawson both decided to stay in their current positions.
